His trait is garbage. It’s useless. Please give him a real trait finally. Meanwhile Ragnaros turns into a building and throws meteors…

The funny thing is that Ragnaros is overall pretty useless.
Yeah Tyrael supposed to be a tank, so why we want to die to make dmg if we want to defend our teamates ? That s none sense, probably because Tyrael was intented to be bruiser like Sonia back in a days.

Maybe he could have 2 traits: the one he has right now and a new one on top of it.

Tyrael’s trait is a zoning tool. AKA exactly what you’d want for a tank. Is it always helpful? No. Do you have to rely on it? No. Does it help? Yes, it could. The point of that talent is during pitched battles. Tyrael does not meant to intentionally sacrifice himself but rather use this as a last resort.
Let’s say, 2 of you are capturing a camp and you get semi-ganked by the enemy team of 3. You hold out great and for some reason you don’t retreat. Tyrael is taken out and then uses his trait to scare away the remaining two heroes. Alternatively they don’t retreat and now they are at low enough health for your ally assassin to kill them both. Another example is Infernal Shrines where the trait can be used to kill 10+ shrine guardians. Sometimes this alone can win the objective.
In general while not directly influence your game the enemy has to count for Tyrael’s suicide bomb and its potential effects. Sure, it isn’t the most amazing trait but not all traits are like that. You also take one part of Tyrael’s kit in isolation.

Well if we could trigger it at the right moment , that could be more benefit, but people would just died for nothing and troll more then ever with him.
I ask for a new Traits since Tyrael is in the game since Alpha
Not as bad as leorics which gives an excuse for players to have 10+ deaths.
A good leroic isnt gonna have many deaths

It has been called the worst trait almost since the game got released.
No matter how much damage it deals, if you have to die to use your trait, it isn’t a good design.
It’s just a nice bonus if you do die but that’s all.

In compensation they made his kit pretty buffed, no?
True, he was a dumpster hero for a long time after release. Sanctification was also a weird ability since he had to stand down and channel it. His abilities also hit like a wet noodle and cost too much mana. (He did have one great peeling talent, Cast Aside, that unfortunately got removed though).
Everything in his kit got multiple buffs, eventually all his talents got reworked, and even the death explosion itself got a nice +25% damage buff. He is not the most popular bruiser even today but he is pickable. In his glory days he was even a fairly popular HGC pick.
